Nobody got anything to say?

zedman - You are right the last two half-year reports were on 27th and 30th of April respectively. Bit of a fingers crossed situation since the company provide minimum on-going info!

REMARKABLY UNEXCITING LAST TWO YEARS

[zedman_1] 26/4/2017 16:32

Half yearly results any day now.

Character is also readying for the launch of its new Telly Tubbies Tiddlytubbies collection.

The Tiddlytubbies made their first appearance in the new Teletubbies in November 2015 and have since gone on to become fan favourites among the show’s pre-school audience.

The new range of plush and interactive toys is now set to land this July.

The first line in the collection of Giggling Tiddlytubbies plush toys are Umby Pumby and Mi-Mi. Squeeze their tummy gently and they release a tumult of giggles.

Press the back of the interactive Shuffle and Giggle Ping and they crawl along the floor.

Mark Hunt, marketing manager at Character Options, said: “We have received a high demand for the Tiddlytubbies from both retailers and consumers, following their introduction to the series.

“They are cute and highly collectable additions to the toy line and should drive incremental sales. We’ll be advertising through TV, print and digital platforms, as well as an extensive programme of blogging and unboxing videos to make sure everyone knows about this exciting new range of Tiddlytubbies toys.”

Just wondering if we may soon a RNS regarding recent share movements/transactions.
Is CCT buying back some shares?

[mcartdon] 16/2/2017 01:57

50% increase in overseas earnings to 32m in 2016. with the brexit effect this may be touching 50% with teletubbies and streach expanding, this has been the company focus growing and stabilising against currency changes.
it may well pay off with much increased t/o and interest in a takeover.

[stoxx67] 14/2/2017 07:16

there will be a print of £5.70 in short term IMHO, due to the technical position of the stock.

would me most pleasant to have something positive from CCT that facilitated a REAL rerating of the stock, rather than the malaise of the last few years.

a takeover at £8 ish would be very well received by my SIPP.

[mcartdon] 14/2/2017 03:19

Raised divi we hope, loads of cover to pay for years, been a good toy fair?
or is it that the next move for the pound is up against the dollar and that bet is on?
with the adjustments coming through, prospects may be improving and those in the know are buying.
400k went through yesterday at 555 some upward pressure +20% maybe.
the pe is 11, and the ftse 33, some difference.

[gargleblaster] 13/2/2017 21:05

On an excellent run at the mo - soaring on the back of a suspect trading statement - strange!

[mcartdon] 06/2/2017 09:53

540 ask on 1000 somewhat of a tight market.

[mcartdon] 01/2/2017 17:49

On the cusp of a push up?. The management have promised a progressive dividend policy.
that should see strength, with recovering profitability and a fairer valuation due.

[mcartdon] 30/1/2017 17:24

I would hope its more that there was a good toy fare with good reception and orders
and a substantial rise in dividend is due towards 20p,a big cash sum collecting in the bank, allowing a cash return to shareholders. and the shares are due a run up to the easter trading statement.
the word is out this share is under performing and the directors need to up their game.

[gargleblaster] 30/1/2017 17:10

Looks like that trading statement was a bit of a head-fake, especially since a couple of directors topped up, and the price has returned to where it was before - also they have form regarding this. So a bit curious. Perhaps a bid could be in the offing in view of Sterling's fall?

[h1a3] 30/1/2017 16:45

I presume we will see a RNS tomorrow following today's 130K of buys.
More director's sales? It would be good to see some share price movement towards £6 and then I would be selling.

[stoxx67] 30/1/2017 13:08

interesting stat mcartdon

believe the endgame is placing the company in the "shop window"

hope the buyer turns up sooner rather than later, the directors have enjoyed themselves far more than the shareholders for the last few Years.

[rcturner2] 30/1/2017 12:42

I've sold mine now. Took my profit. The last trading statement has put me off.

[pratt2] 26/1/2017 15:51

Who thinks this is a potential takeover target eventually? I think the end goal here is just that..

[mcartdon] 26/1/2017 12:04

It would be nice if 1 million of shares that produced 125000 of profit, got more than 20k of dividend

[stoxx67] 26/1/2017 09:06

would be great if the share price warranted wild applause.

It is a rinse and repeat cycle for many a year.Meanwhile the Directors are on a nice gravy train with very high salaries and options to be exercised and sold on.
